39 Mafeking Street South, Kennington, Vic 3550

Designed and built by local architect James Harrington in 1973, 39 Mafeking Street South is a truly distinctive family home, combining the character and thoughtful design of its era with a range of modern updates and conveniences.
Set on an exceptional 1,253m² elevated allotment, the home is perfectly positioned in established Kennington, just minutes from the Bendigo CBD and Strath Village, with supermarkets, schools and childcare all within easy reach.
From the outset, the home's architectural individuality is clear. The high roofline, exposed beams and clerestory windows create an impressive sense of space while flooding the interiors with natural light. Carefully oriented to capture cross-flow breezes and the changing light throughout the day, the elevated position also provides picturesque views across Bendigo from both the front and rear.
Inside, generous proportions define the home. The open-plan front living zone incorporates a spacious lounge and large dining space, flowing through to a stylishly refurbished kitchen. Featuring a dishwasher, double oven, five-burner gas cooktop, soft-close cabinetry, rollaway appliance cupboard and large walk-in pantry, the kitchen delivers both style and exceptional functionality.
A built-in breakfast nook and bar extends from the kitchen to the large central undercover courtyard, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living and an ideal setting for entertaining.
The wide central hallway is filled with natural light and leads to four generously sized bedrooms, including an expansive master retreat at the rear. Complete with a sitting area, split-system heating and cooling, ceiling fan, exceptionally fitted walk-in robe and contemporary ensuite, the master suite provides a private sanctuary away from the main living spaces.
The remaining bedrooms feature built-in or walk-through robes, while the home is further enhanced by a family bathroom with original bathtub and shower, separate toilet, practical laundry and excellent built-in storage.
Outside, an elevated deck provides the perfect spot to entertain or unwind while enjoying beautiful Bendigo sunsets. The expansive backyard offers plenty of room for the family, with mature trees, a large grassed area, garden shed and chook pen.
Vehicle accommodation is equally impressive, with an oversized single garage providing room for a workstation, two carports with rear access and a long sweeping brick driveway offering abundant off-street parking. Combining architectural integrity, generous living spaces, elevated views and an exceptional parcel of land, 39 Mafeking Street South is a home with genuine individuality and character - a rare opportunity to secure a remarkable residence in one of Bendigo's most convenient established locations.
